MUSIC AND DANCING, OR THIC RIVAL Paoressous. —We oc casionally indulge o u r readers with a leaf from the records of the small debt Court, held by the Justices of Peace. The came from the village of Muttonhole is probably fresh in their memory, but we think the following, which some time ago came before the same tribunal, alto less interesting and important. An itinerant musician, (to avail ourselves of Mr. Jeffrey's elegant periphrasis for the disagreeable word .fiddler) prosecuted a teacher of the science of dancing for 4,05. due by the said teacher to the said musician for services done and performed, in so far as the pursuer furnished the defendant with music, which enabled him to put the limbs of his pupils in proper motion, and gracefully conduct them, as the Minerva press bath it, " through the airy mazes of the dance." The teacher of that admirable accomplishment did nut deny that he had 'engaged the Orpheus, but begged leave humbly to state that he had engaged him with the express understanding that he was 'an Orpheus, or at all events that he could bring something like bona fide melody out of his instrument But," said the lage Vestris, raising himself indignantly upon the toes of his pumps, and looking at his self-elected creditor with a stern and dignified air, "' " Old Orpheus played so well he moved old Nick, Whilst thou mov'st nothing but thy fiddlestick." The enraged musician, looking more aghast at the heinousnees of this charge than even his Thracian ancestor did when he lost Eurydice, and determined to give his antagonist measure for measure, declared that there never was a more unfounded asser tion, 113111 that if the dancing-master was to quote poetry at all, he ought to have quoted the lines which every body quoted when ever they were-seen together— " How ill the music with the dancing suits, So Orpheus fiddled and so danced the brutes." Perceiving the obstinacy of both parties, the Justices saw that it was necessary to proceed with prudence, so they ordered that the fiddle should be brought into Court; and that the qualifi cations of the minstrel should be put not to the "ocular," as Othello says, but the auricular proof. The order gave universal satis faction. The pursuer bowed, and the defender executed a pir rotate en avant et en arriere. " 'Fliers will be no time for shuffl ing now," said the former. " No," retorted the latter, " for you have got yourself in a serape." Just then the four-stringed lyre wait handed to the catgut gentleman, who, having " seized the in strument of sound," instantly commeneed,--choosing, like his brother fiddler Despair, whom Collins speaks of , —" A strange and mingled air, 'Twas sad by fits, by starts 'twits wild." Nevertheless it produced a considerable effect upon the audience, who beattime to it with their feet, and at its conclusion applauded with their hands. Nay, one of the candle-snuffers from the Theatre, who was among the crowd, is said to have exclaimed— " That strain again ! It had a dying fall ; Uln ! it came o'er the sense like the soft south Upon a bed of violets stealin g and g iving odours." The triumph of the musician seemed ' com p lete, and ever y one thought that the scale of the dancing-master was about to kick the beam. Not so our Vestris himself; lie quietly requested that Orpheus might be desired to play another tune. Orpheus re ceived orders accordingly. It was observed at that moment that the bard's cheek grew pale, and his lips be g an to q uiver, y et be again pull e d his bow across the strings, but the air was the same as before! He tried again, but it was still the same ! ! Torque, quaterque--atill, still it was the same! I ! Pent, eadem, idem not a new noto—not a single appoyiatura in a ddition. Unfor tunate man! h e h a d b ut one tune one, only °Ile)" " the son g says. It was no W t h e time for ' his scale to ascend. The de fender was assoilzied, and the modern Orpheus was almost. treated as ill by the Maenads of the Hig h . Street, is tha ancie nt 9ne was Hebrus by the Bacchantes o f the --------,---------- DESTRUCTIVE l'ut E . —About eleven o'cloc k last night, a fire was discovered i n t h e extens i ve wa rehouses of Mr. Curling, fellmonger, of Doelt , heinl, which soon 'attained such an ascendency au to throw the whole o f t h e surroun ding neighbour hooti into the utmost dismay. Wh en fi rst di scovere d, the flames seemed to emanate from a wing on the sou th ern side of a large pile of wood building , completely filfed w i t h valtable furs and wools. So rapidly did the devouring element make progress, that the extensive cooperage of Mr. Deacon adj o i n i ng was in A few minutes in fl a mes; but by the great exertions o f t h e fi re men, who Worked their respective engine. with uncommon effect, the flames ltogether subdued. were . in _a short time after a PRESTON, JUNE 20. , • _ Timm DAL—State of the Poll, -- at the close, five o'clock : Mr. Stanley - - 1878 Captain Barrie - - '779 Mr. Wood - - 814 Mr. Cobbett - - 60 8 After the Mayor left the hustings, Cobbett expressed his opi nions of the other Candidates; they were present. As no de scriptive account of his speech can ever give a sufficiently clear idea of the peculiar quality of his eloquence, I send you the report verbuin verbo :.—Gentlemen, I h ave a ll a l on g protested imagist these barricadoes that exclude you from polling ; those posies, as the French call theta, created by Mr. Nicholas Grimshate (the Mayor) for my opponents to hide their heads in from our shots. My feelings towards them, Gentlemen, are guided by a spirit of =did equality. I give no preference; I have no partiality for one above the other. The Captain (Barrie) I bate and detest, for his injustice and cruelty' in putting the oath of supremacy to the Catholics.—(Shouts.)—The gentleman of " the Book of Wonders" (Mr. Wood), the Prince' of Hypocrisy, I despise: and the spitten-On individual on his left (Mr. Stanley,) I loath, as I loath anything the most nasty.—(llursa.)--Anhe Captain I knit my brow and bite my lip ; at the sugar-baker (kr. Wend) I turn up my nose; and at the Honourable young spit ting-box on my left I stop my nose.—(Roam of laughter.)—ln this happy state of impartiality, Ido not know which I like least or hate most. Amidst those barriers that surround us, we have at least one fosse, one ditch, that we can call our own. That shall be true to all electors, even those of our opponents. The freedom of election shall ndt be interrupted. I shall place two of my sons there to-morrow morning —they shall admit every man into it, who shall have been sworn before the Commissioners. We will have that ditch at least open—all who wish to conic and vote (no matter for what Candidate) may enter. You shall have freedom of election.—(Htisza.) After the several parties returned to their quarters, they ha rangued their friends as usual. Captain Bookie complained that Mr. Wood, by a violent rush, meanly took possession of Cobbett's tally-box, and thus broqght up his voters to be polled out of their regular turn. It is clear (he added)that there is u coalition between the two Radicals (Wood and (:obbett) though both deny it. However, Mr. Cobbett does me the justice to treat me like a man, while he despises Mr. Wood. Mr. Cobbett is right in charging Mr. Wood with amt. Mr. Wood does deal in cant ; but I hope you won't let hint cant you out of your votes, or let his men keep you out of Mr. Cob- 1 bett's tally-box. It is free and open to all. Make a strong pull, a long pull, and a pull altogether, and you mustsucceed by G—d. —(Cheering.)--I em not a man to be frightened by a knock down blow.—(Laughter.)—l take a d—d deal of licking before I give in—(Laughter)---and if I have only a brave 'second and $ faithful bottle-holder, I'll fight to the last gasp, by 0 7 -.41. (Hursas.)—lf you exert yourselves, you must treat them with all their deceit and hypocrisy. You never will elect a canting hypo crite, or a Radical Reformer. captain COLQUIT next addressed them on behalf of his brother sailor.—Gentlemen, the heir apparent of Mr. Cobbett thought fit to put the bribery oath to you this morning. Could he offer to you a greater insult As to Mr. Stanley, no gentleman can haVe higher claims to your support than he has—of nrespectible and noble family, possessing property, connexions, and influence in your town—his return would be creditable to you ; besides, he his ob tained a highobaracter-fiw talent ; be has been tried in Parliament already, arnilearilitweet rtlfatftlerable - ability to advocating the prin ciple., which he has adopted. Of Mr. Wood f can speak with something more of certainty. for I am from the 'genie town with him. Mr. Wood, then, Gentlemen, is the ii/71 of Mr. ()taw! Wood, a Liverpool sugar-baker, in whom, though a respectable sort of person iu his rank of life, it would be considered the height of presumption to aspire to a seat in Parliament. How much more presumptuous is it in the son, who has no independence at all— who depends on his father for suppOrt? Here then, Gentlemen, is a person, candidate for your representation, who possesses neither family, fortune, nor ability. His eloquence is on a par with the empty declamation of his friend, Mr. Rushton, the hire ling orator from Liverpool, who is,perhaps, at this very moment, spitting out his venom igainst those measures of Government which he praised the other day in the presence of Mr. Huskis son, in Liverpool. Mr. Cobbett is right in calling Mr. WOod and his partizan hypocrites. Though Mr. Cobbett plainly de nies a coalition with Mr. Wood ,(and perhaps truly,) Mr. Wood has not denied a coalition with Mr.•Cobbett's Committee. Here's a proof of it; tickets have been given out bearing these words, " An iilependent—Cobbett and Wood ; roast beef and plum pudding."—(Laughter.)—Besides, only remember Mr. Wood's harangues, how full of violence. His principles are those of Radicalism—principles which, if ever they prevail in this country, must bring on its destruction. We may say of them what Fox, the great Fox, said of the repeal of the Test Act. Going down to the House of Commons ono day, lie was asked by a friend who met him where be was going ? "1 am going down," said he, " to move a repeal of the Test Act, when that is repealed (turning on his heel) it is all up with England." So, when the Radical principles are carried, we may truly say it is all up with England. Some men who this morning entered Mr. Cobbett's tally-box to vote for him, were beaten out again with sticks, because they would nut give their second vote for Mr. Wood. Now, must there not be something rotten at the bottom of this, not that I say Mr. Cobbett is a party to it. Mr. Cobbett told us yesterday he was going to the country. I thought he was going to give up the business altogether, as be had no thing to do, and that " Othello's occupation's gone.' ( will L nutauglt ter.)—And now one word to the ladies; we hope they relax their kind exertions in my Gallant Friend's favour. I must admit that Mr. Wood is a young man.--that Mr.,Stanley is a young man, a fine young man—that Mr. Cobbett is a tine ani mal---(laughter);—but L also say, that any brave and gallant friend, Captain Barrie,• is a fine man; to be sure, he is married, but is he not the better for that, for setting an example to all the lovers of the ladies around me?—(Acclamatious, laughter, and applause.)—Then add to this, his bravery—his services—hie , . " Though to hit share some gr ey hairs chance to fall, Look at his deeds, and you'll forget them al)." The conclusion of the gallant Captain s oration was greeted with three cheers. _ . _ Mr. STANLEY spoke a few minutes, but said nothing. Mr. Vfoon delaimed against the Test Act, and informed his hearers that the King was friendly to the cause of religious liberty, but war shackled by the influence of the boroughmongers. Mr. Conarrm repeated, at eight o'clock, from hie porter-house, the abuse against his opponents, which he had uttered on the hustings. lie tickled the fine fancy of the many-he a d e d mons t er , till it " roared lik e a sucking dove."Warofitsna r, Twiti.va o'cLocr. Captain Colquitt'a advice to the Bluer YestardaY evening was put lost ; they rallied at seven o'clock this morning, in considerable numbers, around the door to Cobbett's tally-box, resolved to force an entrance into it the moment the doors should be opened; an bllonxreirie':ttaollnye-ebo; (, 1 , the votes are polled one at a time other. party stood at the legitimate avenue , the door to Captain to one of Mr. Wood's. r a , nd the t i h r u o s bject being the pre-occupation of both from each► box) the opportunity of two votes, one from their own box and one from Cobbetes, rrt le Blues, at Cohbett's door, were however scarcely warm , in :heir station, when a n u merous body of those who vot e f or Cob bett and Wood jointly, rushed on t h e m, drove them from the dour, after,a short but severe resistance, anti seized the position abandoned by the defeated foe'. The Ilarryites, though conquered were not subdued, and entering by a private door the Court yard of the market, in the interior of which the butting* are ereetetl, instantly occupied Cobbett's box. One of the Greens (Wm" party) observed th e rear of the Blues enter ing the privates uoor and gave the word to his comrades; the Greens, like lightning, darted through the door after the Torie l _.- attacked them in the box with fists, clubs, and other popular wa , po pi—roated them a second time, and seized the importiat station--Cobbett's tally-box, and filled Wood's box with the over flow from Cobbett's. The Mayor went on the hustings before nine, and seeing them filled before the hour of opening the Court (nine o'clock), ordered them to be cleared. The Radicals were accordingly driven from the possession of the well-fought field, much to their discontent. Nine o'clock came—all the doors were opened to all parties at the same.moment. This was followed by a tremendous rush of the people on the hustings front six different quarters. The first that reached them was one of Capt. Barrie 's agents : having passed through his own box, he rushed towards CObbett's, threw up the bar of Cobbett's box, and opened it to his party, who followed him. Wood's party rushed in at the same moment, and a struggle ensued between them for the possession of Cobbett's booth. 'Wood's party having the advantage of heavy staves, overpowered Barrie's, and a third time succeeded in peen pying the disputed position. This was followed by a scene of al tercation, discord, quarrelling, reproaching, shouting---a thousand tongues going at once, and nobody listening. Captain BARRIE-. 4 have a majority of votes if they are allowed to come in. MAYOR—Let then all parties go out again, and come in peace ably, and each take his chance. Wood's Agent—That will only cause another rush and fight worse than the first. If Captain Barrie persists in bringing his friends up in this manner, we'll turn them out again, and let him take the consequencos. Captain HAIM'S to the Agent—Yon lead your men on, Mr. Blackhurat. 114aczuunirr—You gave the first challenge, Captain. An Elector—l protest against the illegal manner of proceeding this morning. Dr. Cituurrox—Mr. Mayor, you ought to censure the eon duct of that person who threw up the barrier of Mr. Cobbett's booth. DIAYOR-•-I have something else to do now. Mr. &Amin asr—Let it be noted that the person who did that illegal act in Deputy Clerk of the Peace to the Corporation. Mr. %Rom (Captain Barrie's agent)—l'll do the same again if it be necessary. We are justifiable in using stratagem to coon ternet the force employed by you'. MAYOR--" Open the court and be silent. I'll bear no more altercation ; proceed to the polling." After some minutes the tumult had aubsided, and the polling commenced. Mr. Wood's party being in possession of Cobbett's booth as well as Wood's, polled two votes to one of Captain Barrie's. It was remarked for the first time, that every voter of Cobbett's gave his second vote to Mr. Wood ; not that in reality any coalition exists between Cobbett and Wood, but because the workmen, seeing that they cannot by their phimpers return Cobbett, are no* resolved to elect the Candidate (Wood) whose principles they consider the best after Cobbett's.—Besides, Cobbett having ceased to give them drink, has lost much of his influence over the mob. • WEDNESDAY, FOUR o"Ct.ociz, At one o'clock, a friend of Captain Barrie's, Mr. P. Horrocks, attempted to enter the hustings through ,Cobbett's booth, but, being known by Wood and Cobbett's party, was pre vented. Mr. HALL, Capt. Barrie's lawyer, protested against the Mayor's proceeding with the poll, till the freedom of election should be secured, by opening the door to Cobbett's booth. The MAYOR said, that if the crowd would not open the door, and withdraw their obstruction, he would adjourn the Court, and send tor .a military force. • Mr. Horrocks, and other friends of Captain Barrie's, then again tried to enter by Cobbett's door, but were prevented. Mr. Barry (the Town Bailiff and Assessor) went to ascertain the fact of ob. striiction, and reported to the Mayor in the affirmative. Mr. Fitzinnnons, a friend of Cobbett's, and a tailor, said that if the hors to the booths of the other Candidates were opened, Mr: Cobbett's would be opened also, and not Other Wise. He added, that he and some of Mr. Cobbett's men were turned out of Mr. Stanley's booth. Captain 13sItnir said, the obstructions were caused by Mr. Wood's mob. Mr. Wnon denied it.

After much 41tercution and tumultuous uptoar, which in creased every, moment, the Mayor, hopeless of obtaining order, at two o'clock, adjourned the Court till nine o'clock to-morrow morning.—The votes at this time were, btinley. Woo - 1470 I Barrie - 905 I Cobhett - - 880 - - 663 The town is in the greatest agitation—the streets full of anxious crowds—Cohbett's and Wood's bands,' banners, and mobs have joined, and are parading the town to the most popular Irish airs, " Erin go Bragh," " Patrick's day," " Clarryowen." Captain Barrie's men are sitting quietly before his hotel, busily occupied in. cutting pieces of timber into ponderous clubs. The military have been sent for post baste; they ant expected to arrive every hour. A gentleman of the name of Cartwright has been seriously wounded in the head try a blow limo a club. Cobbett'a friends are delighted.—they fancy that the disputes between Bar iie and Wood will cause another election. C7obbett is almost fin-gotten. The contest, the hostility, the conflicts, are exclu sively between Wood's party and Barrie's.

It is expected that the Tory snob will common.* hostilities when the military shall: have, arrived. How: matters will terminate, who will be elected; rejected, knocked down, beaten, battered, or bruised, is a topic of earnest conjecture, particularly among the women, who have all, deserted their houses, and are scattered through the streets in debating groups ; filling the men's ears with their noisy declamation* against Toryism, and the most impossible nllllOlll3 of murder, suicide, bloodshed, fractures, and every dreadful incident; and all because Captain Barrie happens to he a Tory. SONIERSETBIIIIIE, JuNN 21. This morning the polling commen►;ed, and continued during the day, without spirit. But few of the voters for Mr. Hunt mule their s appearance. His bands were no longer heard in the town, ^hut the, other candidates supplied the lounging country people with ►music upon the same terms. Soon after the Court-house opeUed, and the Sheriff took his seat, Mr. Hunt and Sir T. Lethbridge entefed. Sir THOMAS addrested the Sheriff in these words (looking at Mr. limit) Mr. Sheriff, I have a question to propose to that individual, who stands at the table, of the utmost importance." not answer any question now. It is an inter ference with the busineas of the Sheriff. Sir T. LICTILIMIDUZ—I wish to say a few words to that person who has presumed to stand as a candidate for the representation of the county. Mr. HUNT.—WeII, I'll answer any question at the proper time, if it, be a proper question. If it is not a proper question, I'll know how to comment upon it, Sir T. LZTtIBRIDGE again appealed to the Sheriff—l trust that you will allow me, Sir, to put the question. It may put an end to this contest altogether. Mr. Hino.,—'llll , question must be a very queer one if it have that effect, But perhaps you are disposed to cut and run. That, certainly, will put ail and to the contest altogether.--(Laughter). Th e s Hret re.—There are many persons waiting to have the oaths administered to them. It is better not to put any question now, as a discussion is likely to follow. Here there was a pause. A voter, upon being sworn, said to t Sir T. L et hb r idge, that lie came to vote for Dickinson and Leth bridge, and— i Sir Immo took occasion then to call the atteotion of the She riff to a communication which be wished to make lo the v oter on t h e subject to which he had been just alluding.. Mrpi :i fronti Sir T. Ltrunuttna—(lookitig with the greatest contempt. at Mr. Hunt, who folded Ins arms, and star e d i n t h e Hon. Baronet's r. fit eo_o 1, e ay, Mr. Sheriff, , that if .

If you do, lam of opi n i on that it is likely to terminate immediately." The SHERIFF, rising—" I decide that the, business proceed now, and you can avail your:elf of an opportunity of speaking to the effect you intend at the close of the p o ll f or t h e d ay. " Sir THOMAS immediately bowed to the Sheriff, offering as an apology for the interruption, his wish to save the county an unne cessary trouble. 7'he Bribery Oath was then administered, and the voters were sent to the booths, to undergo examination as to their qualifications. Mr. Hunt ran from booth to booth, and was as revere in question ing the voter* for Sir Thomas Lethbridge, as if (to use his own language) the representation of the county was a ton up between them. He was sometimes to be seen in the Court-house, arguing before the Sheriff in favour of the, qualificatione of his own voters and against Owe of the friends of the Baronet, and 'sometime* he was to be seen waving his hat amongst the crowds about the prin cipal street. At five o'clock the poll-boob were closed and brought in to the Sheriff; but the speaking was delayed in Consequence of the ; numerous objections made by Mr„ Hunt to some votes, and his elaborate defence of others. The Sheriff declared that the state of the poll was as follows The day's Dickinson Lethbridge - Ilunt Aggregate poll— Dickinson - Lethbridge - Hunt Sir T. LETHBRIDGN then turning towards Mr. Hunt, who had got up close to Now, Sir, do you wish to say any thing? YOu shall have the opportunity." Mr. HUNT—No, no ; you are as yet above me on the poll, and an avail yourself of your situation.—(Laughter and hisses.) Sir T. Lrritenttiot declared that be was highly gratified at the state of the poll. As far as they had taken the sense of the eounty, that sense had been most energetically expressed. The freeholders had done their duty in a manful, honourable, and splendid manner.—(Cheers and hisses, with cries of " Hunt fo r ever," and roars of laughter.)—There existed no doubt that the sense of the whole county had been manifested in the votes which had already been given, and he was aware of the great inconve nience to which the freeholders would be put by a protraction of the contest. Such, indeed, woold be the inconvenience, that he should be astonished even if the individual who had so unneces sarily caused it, would persevere in the vain attempt.—(Cheers and bisects, and cries of " Hunt for ever.")---Every hotly who had aspark of feeling in hiS bosom must feel for the labour, the toil, and the inconvenience to which the industrious freeholders were put by what had already taken place. Never had there been any occasion upon which the freedom of suffrage had been snore brilliantly dis played than within the last three days.—( Cheers' from all side*. ) From the Sheriff and two of the candidates the electors had met with such treatment as they had a right to expect. The county had most honourably expressed itself, And the mdividual to whom he now particularly alluded could not dare to entertain a hope of rising to an equality with either of those whose conduct had received so unequivocally the need Of 'approbation. (Cries of " Hunt for ever!" which excited bursts of laughter.) With respect to those electors who had voted for that person, he found no fault with then,. He gave them credit for examining the propriety of voting where they conceived the interests of the community were most likely to be protected ; but' he' begged leave to ditter with them tau coda as to the judgment they had formed, and the indi vidual upon whom they hatl fixed their dependence.--(Chiters, and cries of " Hunt for ever," and hisses.) A little time, how ever, would teach them how mistaken they were.---(Criers of " We're not deceivest; Hunt's the lad for u5."),.-4le would not address himself to' that individual, but to all the other persons before him, and ' ask whether that person was net in delaying the contest, adding to the gross delusion which he hisd already practised upon the county ?--(Cheers and hisSes, cunt loud cries of " Hunt, Hunt !" " Clive us no blacking man !" " Lethbridge for ever!")—efe ronchh4l by congratulating the voters upon the Nuceesstltl telbrte they had made in turning aside the stigma which had licon attempted to be ethicists, to the roomy. Mr. Dreesssoss expressed in a fete w‘irds, I'4 the strong prise& of approbation he, had reeeiVetl. Huser congretulated.the county 14/011 the tone inn winch the Other two candidates had, just addressed the electors, different as it was from that in which they, Gad thought proper to speak on former occasions on the same subject. They had suddenly turned from a torrent of abusse into a current of mildness; and, with the exception of the reeetition of the words individual and peroon, not one word borderogNen the ungentlemanly had been uttered. —How was this metamorphosis of tone to be accounted for ? At Bridgwater, and on the day of nomination at Ilchester, they bad set their toupee to work in a manner highly unbecoming the character of candidates fur the representation of that county. .:.....(Laughter, cries of " Hunt for ever !" and hisses.)---He did not, he asatred those around iutend to rake up old 6661' anews. Ho heti, he declared, in all he had said that might be cal culated to hurt the feelings ot' any one, merely acted upon the principle of retaliation., Mr. Dickinson had quoted extract* from newspapers, eight or ten years old, as intallible against lint, ascribing to him the ,host cowardly and base conduct, and bad not thought it worth while to bring forward an atom of proof. That Gentleman had also declared, that no honest would vote for Hunt . (Cries of " Hunt for ever !")—Now, this coin liment was 110 doubt intended for the freeholders, who would, 226 X 42 979 974 179 10 . 4004, take it as ii. was intended. He considered himself quite ut of the question on the occasion.—(Laughter.)—As for Sir T. Lethbridge—(Cries of " Lethbridge for ever !" " Hunt for ever,!")—that worthy' person had totally altered his phraseology, and talked actually like a roll, steady, sensible tuan—(roars of laughter, and hisses)—although he was mistaken in supposing that the hint he had so kindly given, about putting an end to the contest, would be ut all uttended to. That honourable person had said he would be astonished if the person would not decline , any further attempt to get up on the poll. it was not t he first time Sir Thomas had been astonished at what he (Mr. Hunt) was disposed to do, nor ahould it be the last.—(Laughter and biases. ) —lie (Mr. Hunt) should consider that lie would be acting disgracefully to the county of Sonteraet and to hintself, and that he would deserve to be loanded as the wearer of the white feather, if he listened for u stunneut to Sir Thome Lethbridge upon such a oubjeet. Ile then Advents., to the mete of the poll DU a former occasion, When Mr. Dickinson pfdleil SOO in one day—a number as great nearly ae he had polled in the three days just expired; and he again called the attention of the freeholders to the insult vaned upon 179 'of their body, who had already voted fur him, but whom UOIV the other candi dates thought proper to designate as deluded men—a phrase adapted in the place of 'the respectable epithet of " rogues."— (Cheers and hissee.)—How did it happen that no blank wee at tached to them to-day ? Well, he would excite the astonishment of the worthy persons a little more, by bringing up hundreds of other poor deluded men to the poll.--(Laugbter).--Not more than a sixth or seventh part of . the county had already polled, and unless more was dope by both of the old Members, by the bless ing of God lie would not only gallop up to them, but pass ,hy them, in less than tea days.--(Cheers, hisses, and roars of latigh ter).--lle admitted that moans respectable persons bed polled for them. He bad teen attornies, and magistrates, and clergymeno run to the poll. Indeed, of eighteen voteis who polled At tote booth, he counted eight of the clargy, a preference upon which Sir Thomas LIMA have prided himself not a little. Mr. Hunt then stated that if, in the heat of retaliating, ens thing ntitusi'e had escaped hint, lie felt bound to apologise to the Sheriff and Mr. Dickinson. Of the latter he had erroneously said something about mortgaging estates ; but this wi-u the only circumstance about which he thought an apology necessary.
